The rest are scattered, help- - ' less and unable to make themselves heard. Families by thousands subsist on such weekly incomes as $14, $18, $25. Mr. Roosevelt and his followers contend that people living in such conditions are not of much use to society and are not good custom- ers for business. r bill made Why has the no progress? Because only the ad- ministration is fighting for it. Industry is against such a law because it fears the government, given an inch, would take a mile and clamp more irons to its leg. The C. I. O. and A. F. of L. say they are for it, but they do nothing. Bargaining for labor is their particular business, and they don't want the government muscling in. The South put up the bitterest fight of all, because it pays as low as ten and fifteen cents an hour and thinks its small industries would go broke paying 40 cents. Besides the administration, of course, the millions of common workers want a minimum wage. They can vote, and it would seem that congress would respond to them. But congress responds precisely as pressure is brought to bear. And the lower third, which Mr. Roosevelt says is can't afford and to hire lobbies and print propaganda.

But in Washington, as nowhere else, you see the dull, unworried tax leeches by tens of thousands, smug In futile security. From half past three on, just as the workers in competitive life are buckling down to make hay of the day's effort, the Capital crowd swarms out of its marble palaces, gaily jamming the poky street cars and two-btaxis, heading for cocktail lounges or more hours of indolence at home. If it's winter they're muffled up in woolens and furs. In summer they're arrayed in white linens, marred only on the seats by chair varnish melted in the capital's steamy heat. Massed faces show not a trace of the alert concern that marks men and women who sail under their own steam.

Unlike other sports, any-- i body can be nominally successful on the alleys, which also helps. Women like it for several reasons. They're deserting bridge clubs be cause one can make more social contacts on the alleys. They find the game "fascinating," and it's one of the few winter sports open to women. Anyway, it's being "done" nowadays so why not join the crowd? Exercise and Relaxation.
